Red light cameras improving traffic safety

Red light cameras have been installed at select locations throughout Durham Region to reduce T-bone collisions at intersections on Durham Regional roads.

Red light running has the potential to cause serious injury or death for both the offending driver and innocent victims. The Region’s collision records database shows 534 collisions over a three-and-a-half-year period at signalized intersections where the cause was specifically attributed to a driver disobeying traffic control signals. Durham Region is one of many municipalities across Ontario using red light cameras to create safer roads.

This initiative is in support of Durham Vision Zero, a long-term plan with the ultimate goal of eliminating all roadway deaths and serious injuries.
